1. Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles， and improved their feeble corporation governance， a new problem threatens to earn them - especially in America - the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite： data insecurity.
 
译文：正当老板、董事会总算解决了最为棘手的财务和规章问题，并且改善了薄弱的公司管理之际，一个新的问题又威胁着他们——尤其是在美国——置他们于负面头版头条新闻中，管理层进而不可避免地受到惩罚。这个问题就是：数据不安全。
 
2. Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust， that most valuable of economic assets， is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore - and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.
